Hey guys. I’m new here so these stuff should be obvious to you. But this is the reason I’m asking it here anyway.
It seems that basically there are 2 groups of Mesa amps: With GEQ and Without GEQ
I know the importance of GEQ to shape the exact tone one may seek. I guess my questions are these:
1- All Mesa’s have those three Bass/Mid/Treb knobs. Aren’t these EQ’s? So what is the significance of having another set of EQ’s in some models? Is it like having two EQ pedals one before preamp and one after preamp? How much improvement this Double-EQing will make for us?
2- If we get a model w/o GEQ, can we just put an EQ pedal in the effect loop after preamp and have exactly the same thing as models with GEQ? Anyone has tried this? What is the difference of this vs amp’s own GEQ?
I’m asking this, because there is a gap in demand for models with and w/o GEQ. If it can be solved by adding a simple EQ pedal, why should everybody recommend to get a model with GEQ?
Thanks.
